Britain at the moment is completely unstable. I myself wanted for Britain to stay within the European Union and ever since we've left things such as our economy have gone completely downhill. I'm not even trying to scare monger people into believing me, prices have simply gone up since we voted to leave the EU. My parents are both Conservatives however in the next general election I will vote for Labour, as I am a self-confessed leftie. I was angry when David Cameron left as I felt he left us to our own devices and caused more havoc and stress to the public than just leaving the EU would have done, that and many people did vote on the basis of Cameron being Prime Minister. I do however honestly feel as though Theresa May is doing a fantastic job as our PM at the moment as she is 'calming the storm'. From recent news stories that have come out it seems like the majority of the EU are completely against us and have been blocking us out from quite a few Brexit talks. It's a shame really as I love my country however the 'Great' in 'Great Britain' is slowly deteriorating.
In my opinion, the best steps to follow through with in the coming years is to allow Scotland to have more of a say in Parliament. I believe they are being treated incredibly poorly, especially seeing as the majority of their country followed to leave, but as usual England have taken the lead and are bringing the rest of Britain down with them. I can bet you the Republic of Ireland are smiling at the moment. I'd also like to see an early General Election take place. Although people should vote on the basis of party beliefs unfortunately people still vote on whose leading it and seeing as we weren't expecting Theresa May I think that it would be considerate to have one take place.
The thing is we haven't even started leaving yet but companies have used "Brexit" to put prices up slightly especially if you live in London. It was a vote to see what the UK thinks and democratically parliament should follow through with it. The triggering of article 50 should happen in the next 6 months or so.
When you vote in an election in the UK you select the majority party not the leader themself, if the elected head by the party leaves, they themselves elect a new leader which is fair enough due to them being voted in and not the leader themselves. I am just pointing this out as someone in my school thought it was a conspiracy that Theresa May was in and thought it meant the conservatives got an extra 5 years in downing street. I know you understand this fact but I thought I ought to highlight it to people who do not know.
Many people do not vote labour as in the 80s and 90s they did not deliver and created false promises for workers etc. Conservatives are seen as more reliable to some people to deliver what they promise. I am not stating that the conservatives are reliable but that they are more reliable, I believe that this is important when deciding who to vote for as I will be old enough to vote in the next general election (I think)
